The first figure without the base, was made to overcome an early problem, when the name 'Resica' was found marked under some bases.
John Kellner writes - 'Resica Resica made Greeks and Romans; to save time, and before RP started using matrices, they would carve up
an existing figure to a stick and build up from that, so the base is from a production run figure. Chuck or Glen probably forgot to grind
down a base, so when the masters went into the production moulds, they put green stuff over it. This happened to several figures and led
to an embarrassing situation at Gencon when they forgot to grind out someone else's base and they saw it and were not amused, even though
it was obvious it wasn't one of their figures. The early days were a learning experience and they made plenty of mistakes without realizing it'.
- separate bases were then made, as a temporary measure, and fixed to the masters by epoxy, and the molds were made from them......
It was also common to put the next year's date, because the actual production was later. BTW, that figure would have been scuplted when Tom was a junior in high school.
